Our PAT testers follow a standardized testing
procedure, designed to thoroughly test the safety of all your portable appliances.
Our procedure wholly conforms to the code of practice laid out by the Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEE)
- the standards body responsible for PAT testing.
As all portable appliances
need to be unplugged for testing, testing
can be carried out outside of normal working hours or on a weekend ensuring
there is no effect on staff productivity.
Portable appliances are
discreetly labelled with the result of the test (pass or fail). Any
remedial action that can be taken during PAT
testing (repairing plugs/fuses etc)
will be carried out at that time at no extra cost. More complex faults or
damage are reported to the business manager.
As a final assurance for the
quality of our pat testing, all contracts are underwritten with full
public liability insurance, allowing you to concentrate on your business
objectives safe in the knowledge that your working environment is in good
condition.
Please feel free to contact
us for more information on pat testing.
